Hi folks. I noticed an odd thing lately: when I put the mouse cursor right to the corner that used to activate Overview effect (top left one in my case) on a primary monitor, nothing happens. But when I do the same on another display, it triggers Overview effect. I am sure it’s something new, as a couple of weeks ago it worked on both displays. Same with other corners and actions that could be selected.
My setup: Plasma Wayland, 2 displays: laptop’s one to the left (secondary) and an external monitor to the right (primary). Scratching my head now…
Can anyone confirm?
If I am not mistaken Plasma is seeing your two monitors as one desktop and setting the upper right corner of your desktop as the hot corner while you would like the upper right of each monitor to be the hot corner. I have not seen a way to configure that way. I rarely use my laptop with an external monitor plugged though. Perhaps someone else has more information.
Edited to fix typo.

I agree; maybe it’s technically possible to add extra “hot corners” where there are two displays with different resolutions or positions other than directly left, right, above or below, but that is how it seems to work.

OK noted. Thing is I might had delusions or something but I am pretty sure that some time ago it worked for both displays at the same time, and now it’s broken (or got “fixed” by some minor Plasma update). So I will look through recent changelogs and the source, because it is a bug from my point of view.

could be this issue was being different on X11 than on Wayland

OK I think my memory failed me, this hasn’t ever been available under Wayland. In the meantime I found a bunch of hilarious bugs involving hot corners, log out screen and shortcuts, but that’s another story.
Thank you guys for your replies.
